Excellent bag for a camera and a laptop. I have a 17" laptop which is fairly old and hence quite thick but this bad boy can almost fit the whole thing in...almost being the key word. Any of the newer 17's would fit in quite easily and anything smaller shouldn't be a problem. I like the many compartments which can be customized by using the velcro dividers. The best bit for me is the tripod holder. That was key for me. Keep in mind that this can pretty much hold one SLR only. If you are looking for a bag that holds multiple SLR's this is not the one to go for. Also, I wouldnt count on this baby holding very large lenses in it. All in all a very good purchase for the price paid.

A Decent Bag For The Price!

My girlfriend bought me this camera bag for Christmas. I had checked several stores that offered backpack style camera bags, but couldn't decide on what one I wanted. The stores prices were nowhere near the price listed on Amazon. Based on the reviews of this Nikon bag, I figured that it would work for my needs, and it does. There are several reviews that state the camera will not fit with the 18-200 VR lens... However, I've fit my D80 with 18-200 VR lens and hood in this camera bag just fine. All of the pockets are adjustable, including the top one which holds the body and lens... People who are saying their camera won't fit, obviously didn't mess around with the pockets enough. My bag fits my D80 mounted with the 18-200 VR lens in the "camera section", and my 50mm 1.8 lens, 18-135, 20-40 Tamron lens, SB-600 flash, point-and-shoot Nikon Coolpix 5200 camera, chargers and extra batteries for the D80 and Coolpix, external HD, extra memory cards, filters, etc. in the other pockets on the bag. I also feel secure that the camera and accessories are all protected very well, there's enough padding all around. There are clips on the sides of the bags, which if I undestand correctly, which hold a tripod. I've strapped my Slick tripod on, but it made the bag very uneven. I'm thinking of a modification where I could mount the tripod on the bottom of the bag, held on by the waist "brace", would be more suitable for a larger tripod, or simply don't hook the tripod on the camera bag at all. The laptop pocket does NOT fit my HP dv8000t laptop (which is a 17" widescreen)... The laptop fits inside the pocket, but it does not zip completely (it won't go around the top edge of the computer)... I'm sure with enough effort, I could make it fit... But, that's what my HP backpack is for. :) With a smaller laptop however, it would fit fine. All in all... I'd say for the price tag ( <$100 ), it's a hard bag to pass up. It may not be enough for a professional photographer who needs to carry multiple bodies and multiple lenses... But in that case, you should be willing to pay more for a bigger, better bag. However as an amateur photographer who wanted the ability to carry all my stuff in the convenience of a backpack, this bag suits me just fine!
